Why this step
The first step after cleansing, and the start of the ritual.
A rice-and-bifida ferment essence pressed into clean, damp skin. It softens and plumps the surface so the layers that follow spread evenly and hold their glow longer — the quiet opening move of slow aging, the Korean way.

Questions, answered
Where does an essence fit in my routine?
It is the first leave-on step after cleansing — a light layer that preps skin so the treatments that follow spread and absorb more evenly.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is designed to be gentle and low-fragrance. As with any new product, patch test on the inner arm for a few days first.
When will I notice a difference?
Most people notice the softer, prepped feel immediately; the look of tone evens out gradually over several weeks of daily use.
